I just want to buy one 10g bottle - is there a cheaper shipping option?
Sorry, no there isn’t.
Shipping charges (detailed here) are carefully chosen to be as fair as possible to all our customers and ensure that shipping costs are covered. We try to neither make a profit or a loss on shipping charges.
It often costs us the same to send a small package as it does to send a larger one. That’s not just the courier charge but also it has to go into a box with packaging around it to ensure it doesn’t get broken and someone has to be paid to pack it: then there’s paying someone to take it to the courier or paying for collection and finally the cost of the carriage itself. In all cases a significant part of the cost is paying someone to pack your order – it’s not just the cost of postage.
Our shipping rates may increase (or decrease) over time as rates offered by couriers do, we regularly check these when booking in parcels and if there is an opportunity to lower them we do, likewise if we need to increase them because we are consistently being charged more than we have charged customers we will increase them.
Why not combine your order with a friend to save shipping costs? Or wait until you need several things?
Do not contact us about lower shipping rates!
There are no other rates other than those listed and you will most likely not receive a response. If you feel they are too high please find another supplier!
